The younger brother of Shan’ann Watts says that he had always worried about his big sister and her daughters living in Colorado, because he wouldn’t be around to keep them from harm.

In an emotional statement read aloud at Shan’ann’s funeral, Frankie Rzucek remembered his big sister as being an ambitious, loving woman who couldn’t wait to become a mom.

From a young age, I always knew my sister was going to be successful — and nothing would stand in her way,” Rzucek’s statement read. “She was born to be a mother. Boy, was she ready! Closets were full even before she knew she was pregnant. She couldn’t wait. She was my mom, times ten — whether either one of them wanted to admit it. She had ambition in her eyes and wanted a great life for her children and herself.”

Rzucek went on to say that his sister excelled at motherhood. “They were always well-dressed and well mannered,” he wrote. “She taught them to be brave and independent, just like Shan’ann. She was very successful and independent, before any man came along — and that’s just the way she wanted it.”

But despite Shan’ann’s independence, Rzucek was always concerned about the distance between them.

“I always worried about her and the girls being so far because I couldn’t protect them,” he wrote. “Growing up, she was a perfect role model. She had a lot of friends and was very popular, which made it hard for me being her little brother trying to protect her from heartbreak and other things. She moved out at 18 and never looked back.”

Chris Watts has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder as well as other charges in the deaths of his wife and two daughters, Bella, 4. and Celeste, 3. He is being held without bond at the Weld County Jail. He has not yet entered a plea.

In an interview with police, Chris Watts claimed that he only strangled his wife after he saw her on the baby monitor strangling their two children — a claim that police have said they do not believe.

As the case against Chris Watts continues, Shan’ann’s family continues to mourn the woman who seemed to have the life everyone envied. “She was ready to take on the world, and we know she did,” Frankie Rzucek concluded in his statement. “I love you always, your brother, Frankie.”

Shanann, Celeste and Bella were reported missing on Monday. On Wednesday night, the Frederick Police Department, working with the FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation, arrested Chris Watts, who had given multiple media interviews pleading for their safe return.

He has been charged with three counts of murder in the first degree and three counts of tampering with physical evidence, according to court records.

Multiple outlets, citing police sources, have reported the husband confessed, but police have not confirmed or denied such reports.

It was not immediately clear if Chris Watts has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

The body of Shanann was found on Thursday, police said at a press conference, though no cause of death was revealed.

The bodies of the children have not been found, but Colorado Bureau of Investigation director John Camper said at the press conference, “We have strong reason to believe that we know where the bodies of the children are and recovery efforts are in process on that.”

PEOPLE has not been able to reach Shanann’s family, but CBS Denver reported the family said in a statement, “It is with deep hurt, confusion and anger to confirm our beautiful cousin Shanann Watts, her unborn child, and her two angelic daughters, Bella (4), Celeste (3) were viciously murdered by husband Chris Watts; who confessed to the killings. Please keep Shanann’s parents and brother in your prayers.”

Prince’s family and friends were quick to shoot down reports that the late singer’s hologram would make an appearance during Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl LII halftime show on Sunday.

The “Purple Rain” singer’s family denied it was happening on Saturday through a Twitter account managed by his brother, Omarr Baker.

In the tweet, Baker shared a no entry sign along with “#PrinceHologram,” after TMZ reported Timberlake had a hologram planned in honor of Prince and his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the Super Bowl will be held.

Timberlake’s rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The NFL also was not immediately available for comment.

Prince’s one-time fiancée and longtime friend and collaborator, musician Sheila E., also weighed on the hologram rumor on Twitter, writing, “Prince told me don’t ever let anyone do a hologram of me. Not cool if this happens!”

“In my opinion, the greatest all-around musician in pop culture,” Timberlake said. “The time I got to spend around him, with him, talking about music — those are memories that I’ll take with me forever.”

“To be honest, I had a ton of grand ideas about special guests. There’s a whole list. I think Vegas has a lot of odds on it, from ‘NSYNC to Jay to Chris Stapleton to Janet,” he said.

Instead, he said he wanted to shine the spotlight on his trusty longtime band, the Tennessee Kids. “I feel like they’re my special guests and I’m excited to rock the stage.”

Timberlake — who revealed he’s “doing a few things with this halftime show they’ve never quite done before” — confirmed that he’ll play his Oscar-nominated smash “Can’t Stop the Feeling” but warned, “That’s all I am giving away! I’m not giving away anything else, so don’t even try it.

PARTY PIECES: Blood Brother has teamed with Selfridges on a capsule range for the retailer’s Music Matters initiative, which opened in-store this week.
Launched in 2011 by Nicholas Biela and James Waller, the label is known for its smart casualwear and relaxed formalwear. Waller noted that the range was inspired by the duo’s history of throwing parties. For example, rave and nightclub flyers have become graphics on T-shirts and hoodies.
“We used to put on nights where we would get our mates to DJ and get down with everyone — friends, family, colleagues,” said Waller. “It was a great way of bringing people together, which is what Blood Brother is all about.”
The 11-piece men’s wear range consists of T-shirts, hoodies and bags in hues of acid green, bright pink, blue, white and black. Prices range from 55 pounds for a T-shirt to 160 pounds for a bag.

A White House technology summit last month featured leaders of the country’s largest companies, including Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. Among them was a less-prominent figure: the CEO of OpenGov, a small startup partly owned by Jared Kushner’s brother.WSJ.com: WSJD

Akeem Browder still grieves over the deaths of both his younger brother Kalief and his mother Venida ― but he is carrying on their legacy and fighting for change by running for mayor of New York City.

Browder confirmed to HuffPost on Monday that he is officially throwing his name into the ring ― along with several other candidates ― and competing against incumbent NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio. Browder, 34, believes he is equipped and more ready than he’ll ever be for the campaign.

“I lost my mother, I lost my brother,” he told HuffPost. “I have nothing left to lose.”

Kalief Browder died by suicide in 2015 at the age of 22 just two years after he was released from Rikers Island. He was jailed there for three years, nearly two of which he spent in solitary confinement, for allegedly stealing a backpack and was both unable to make the $ 3,000 bail and unwilling to take a plea deal. He experienced brutal beatings from both inmates and guards all of which is documented in stories and interviews of those who spoke to him before his death. Browder’s mother, Venida, who had been one of Kalief’s biggest supporters, passed away in 2016 at the age of 63 from a “broken heart” after suffering from complications of a heart attack.

Now, Browder said he is ready for political office and and running on the Green Party ticket. He said that he plans to be a strong competitor of De Blasio, especially on issues of criminal justice, saying that he disagrees with many of the laws De Blasio has introduced during his time in office. He thinks De Blasio’s 10-year plan to shut down Rikers Island is “lip-service” ― Browder believes the process can be completed in three years instead. As a candidate, Browder said he also takes issue with DeBlasio’s stances on immigration, education and poverty around the city.

“It’s not a personal vendetta why I’m running for mayor but if we’re having someone represent the people, it better be someone who isn’t far removed from the people and better understands the people so they can better their lives,” Browder said. “Do what’s right by the people or get out of office, get out of the way of people who want to try and make a change.”

As mayor, Browder said he plans to prioritize issues of criminal justice, such as identifying better ways to decrease criminalization, increase resources to inmates with mental illnesses and finding more effective ways for re-entry. He also plans to focus on homelessness and better managing the city’s public spending to allocate funds to those most in need.

“I’ve been homeless before,” he said. “We as New Yorkers still criminalize and monopolize the homeless. To me that’s pathetic and I want to make a change, not just with the homeless but those who come from jail. There’s very little thought put into how we appropriate funds for people coming home and re-entering society.”

Browder, who said he is a long-time activist, has been involved in several grassroots political projects. He helped to create the New York chapter for Black Lives Matter and the Shut Down Rikers campaign, and sits on an independent New-York based commission around criminal justice. He also helped to establish the Kalief Browder foundation in his brother’s memory.

Ultimately, it’s Browder life experiences, struggles and successes that he believes make him best-suited to be mayor.

“These candidates are far removed from the problems we face in New York,” he said. “They don’t understand what we go through. It takes someone who has been impacted by the law and justice system and has the info, knowledge and drive to reel it back in and put it back into the right channels.”

Though the program is often a total snooze fest ― it’s no secret that cats love to sleep ― it should be heartening to know that it’s all for a good cause.

According to Iceland Magazine, the kittens ― named Guðni, Stubbur, Briet and Ronja ― were moved into the house after they were found in an industrial park in Reykjavik with their mother. They were checked out by vets and Stubbur was found with an injured tail that required amputation.

Before moving into the house, the entire project, including the cat house, was reportedly reviewed and approved by the Icelandic Humane Society, as well as other animal welfare groups.

Now clean, healthy and well-pampered, the cats are using their good looks and charm not to push lip kits or emojis, but the adoption of other strays like them through Icelandic animal shelter, Kattavinafélagið ― which roughly translates to the “cat friendship society,” according to Mashable. The kittens are also up for adoption themselves.

The duo behind sneaker brand MCCVIII hosted a presentation at the ICA during London Fashion Week Men’s in London.
While Carl Gilliam was watching “Ben-Hur” with his 14-year old daughter, the father and teen enjoyed the chariot scene so much that he referenced the Ancient Roman sport and named the lineup The Chariot collection. Resembling the curvatures of a two-wheeled, horse-driven carriage and the silhouette of a charioteer’s helmet, Gilliam treated the sneaker with rounded curves and lines. They also had puffer-style backs and gum soles. Available in two styles — high-top and low-top — the Chariot Archer was done in bright tones of orange, pink, blue and metallic gold. At a presentation held at the Institute for Contemporary Arts during London Fashion Week Men’s, the brand also showed off its Pharaoh style, which was updated with a gum sole and fringe embellishments. The collection will retail at 375 pounds, or $ 456, and will be sold at Harvey Nichols.

If you’ve ever had a Woody toy, video game or — in a few cases — seen a “Toy Story” movie, you’ve assumed the voice you heard coming from the cowboy in the yellow-plaid shirt was that of Tom Hanks.

Well, reach for the sky, because there’s been a snake in your boot/ears this whole time. This town was big enough for two all along and the dual-sheriffs are actually Tom Hanks and his brother, Jim Hanks.

“No, it’s my brother Jim,” Tom responded smirking, and then continued on to explain, “There are so many computer games and video things and Jim just works on those all year long.”

Clarifying how this initial idea came about, Tom said that it had to do with him being too busy to handle all the extra voice work. He recalled to Norton, being asked rhetorically, “You don’t want to do this,” to which he appears to still respond, “No, get my brother Jim, he’ll do it.”

Jim Hanks is an actor in his own right, with a long list of credits since 1992. One such recent role in 2015 was for a short titled, “The Other Brother,” where he plays the sibling of a famous Hollywood producer. His character’s job in the short is to give tram tours around Universal Studios, showing off the more well-known brother’s success.

Over a dozen credits are from his work voicing Woody in “Toy Story” properties. Many of these are for video games, but you’ve most likely heard his work in the popular doll versions of Woody (which Norton showed) or if you’re of a certain generation, perhaps in the 2000 movie, “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.”

Jim can manipulate his voice to sound almost exactly like his brother’s, which is part of the reason why you’ve never noticed the difference. The other part, of course, being that you didn’t expect a beloved actor and Pixar’s first franchise to betray you.

In the video below, Jim shows off his relative talent, while also admitting what scares him about the level of fame that follows his brother.

The Huffington Post reached out to Jim Hanks’ representation, along with multiple producers from his early ”Toy Story” roles, but nobody wished to comment on the story.

With no further answers to console your shaken memories, it’s time to find your old Woody toy, pull its string and somehow accept that it has actually been pulling your string this whole time.

Brother Ali is one of hip-hop’s most honest and outspoken cultural critics of this generation. The Minneapolis MC has released five studio albums and four EP’s all under the Rhymesayers banner. This is a small segment of our hour-long conversation in which Brother Ali took time out of his schedule to speak about some of the current challenges he sees in the community and the legacy of his label Rhymesayers as they celebrate 20 years in hip-hop.

Giving the current relationship between law enforcement and the community, is there a path forward to co-exist?

People are very afraid of the term “radical.” And for the people who know a change needs to happen, for people of good conscience and intentions, who know that things are not right — those divide into two approaches, not that a person has to believe completely in one; they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. On one hand, you have progressives who say that this is a good system, that is just not operating properly and we need to make progress within this system. We can work within the system and do better. Part of Martin Luther King’s life in 1963 when he made the “I Have a Dream” speech, he would have been considered a progressive. Whereas, contrasted with Malcolm X, who was saying that the system never had poor people in mind, never had black people in mind, it never had women in mind, and so Malcolm would be considered a radical. There are people who are radical, like Malcolm, who would say the system is fundamentally flawed and there needs to be radical changes. Radical doesn’t necessarily mean violent. The conservatives have conflated these issues to imply that radical means that somebody wants to kill people, and to be violent. That’s what they said about Malcolm, they said Malcolm is the violent one, Martin Luther King is the non-violent one and it’s much more complicated than that. Malcolm never committed any violence and never told anyone to commit violence. Malcolm may have asked the question, why is America violent in all of her disputes?

This idea that is pervaded by people of power that being a radical means that you’re violent. I would say that my philosophy is that there are some very flawed things in the make-up of our civilization, and that those things ought to be addressed. Does that mean that I don’t believe in progress action? I think short-term, progressive things are good. Is that the ultimate solution? No, it’s definitely not.

Because you speak honestly, the media gravitates to your criticisms of society as oppose to some of the more compassionate lyrics in your music. Are you optimistic about the future?

I’m not necessarily optimistic. I have a degree of hope that is related to my faith. I do believe in a creator. I do believe that there is a cause and a meaning behind the universe; and behind life. And I believe that that creator is always in complete control. That’s on a very personal level. Now, that doesn’t mean that we’re not supposed to speak out and fight injustice. It doesn’t mean that we’re not supposed to be building community. And honestly, that has become more and more of my focus — rather than fighting injustices, watering the good plants. I did a lot of organizing and activism around fighting institutions like banks and the police department — trying to hold them accountable — and I feel great about all of that, but what I’ve really found lately to be more worthy of my time and energy is just trying to build the things that I want to see more of. And that is trying to really foster and nurture community.

When I look at hip-hop culture, there are so many artists worried about technology; is that something that concerns you within hip-hop?

Yeah, I keep using the term global “monoculture,” but I think that’s what the modern age is about. I really feel the modern age is about separating us from meaning, separating us from each other, separating information from poetry, separating information from beauty, separating the heart from the mind, instead of holistic living. And that’s what we really should be promoting and talking about; and that’s what we should really be trying to get right; how do we live together. I do talk a lot about what’s wrong, both in my personal life and also in society, but I also try to always be inviting. Ultimately, I’m not condemning for the sake of condemning. This music is here for everyone. I’m here for everybody. My heart — and I hope I’m not making a false claim — but my heart field includes everybody.

I saw you perform last year, headlining the Home Away From Home Tour. After the show, I saw you greet every fan and they left with an overwhelming feeling of love.

I appreciate you saying that. On an ego level — which is a dangerous level to really exist on, because our ego will always destroy us — but on an ego level, as artists we want to be understood, and we think we deserve to be understood. And for me, when I’m at my most base level, when I’ve experienced being the most bitter or despair, it’s because I don’t feel like I’m being understood. There are two dimensions at the same time; on the one hand, there is open-embrace, love, and hope. And on the other side, because I love us so much — if you love a person, you hate when they are hurt. If someone you know is being treated unjustly, then you hate that injustice. So the songs in which I’m angry, I’m extraordinarily angry, and the songs that I’m loving, I’m extraordinarily loving, and they are tied to each other, but I agree that people tend to focus on whichever side serves them best.

Looking back, what do you think the Rhymesayers legacy has been over the last 20 years?

What I think Rhymesayers had a role in bringing to the table was that their fans did not have to be traditional hip-hop fans. Artists can make an entire career touring in cities where major hip-hop artists never went before. And also, you don’t have to have what is seen as the typical hip-hop story, or content, or delivery, or presentation. It’s only been very recently that’s been normal. That’s Rhymesayers, but we’re not the only ones to do that. Living Legends had a hand in that, Def Jux had a hand in that, Tech N9ne had a hand in that. But when you look at the label, Rhymesayers has stood the test of time. And we’ve done it in a way that is very legitimate and respectful to the culture.

“Josh was a boy, a young boy in puberty, and a little too curious about girls,” Jessa, who married Ben Seewald in November and is expecting her first child, told Kelly. “And that got him into some trouble. And he made some bad choices, but, really, the extent of it was mild — inappropriate touching on fully clothed victims, most of it while [the] girls were sleeping.” (Via the police report: [Jim Bob Duggar} said that [Josh] had told him that [he] had been touching [redacted] on the breast and vaginal areas while [they] were sleeping.” Later in the report [Jim Bob] said there was another incident in March 2003. [Jim Bob] said that [Josh] was reading to [redacted] and [she] was sitting on [his] lap, [Josh] had touched [redacted’s] breasts and vaginal area…sometime during this timeframe [Josh] had been standing in the laundry room and [Josh] had put [his] hand under [redacted’s] dress.”)

Jill, who married Derek Dillard in 2014 and welcomed a son in April, echoed what their parents had told Kelly on Wednesday — that they “didn’t even know” about the molestation until Josh had confessed to their parents. “None of the victims were aware of what happened until Joshua confessed,” she said. Jessa added, “My parents took [us] aside individually, and they said, ‘Here’s what happened,’ and of course at this point, you’re shocked.”

Meanwhile, Jessa also is quick to defend Josh (who before his confession was the executive director at the conservative, anti-gay group Family Research Council Action) against those calling him a hypocrite.

“It’s right to say, ‘Here’s what I believe, here’s my values,’ even if you’ve made stupid mistakes or failures,” she told Kelly. “If you’ve had failures in your past, it doesn’t mean you can’t be changed. I think that’s where … I think the real issue is people are making this sound like it happened yesterday.”

The Duggar parents have been heavily criticized since they revealed they didn’t seek any sort of help for Josh until the third time he confessed his behavior to them — the breaking point, they said, was when he admitted to touching his youngest sister, who was only 5 years old at the time. The sisters, however, contend certain “safeguards” were implemented by their parents after their brother confessed to the abuse.

“Locks on the doors. You know, everybody’s in bed,” Jill explained. “Girls in the girls’ room. Boys in the boys’ room — as a mother now I look back, and I think, you know, my parents did such an amazing job for me. Even when we went through the DHS investigation they complimented my parents on what an amazing job they did through that process.”

In the interview, Jill also said, “My parents have always actually stated … we are not a perfect family. We are just a family.”

Summer's almost here, and the year's season finales are winding down—so we're crowning the best, brightest, and craziest from this year's long, wonderful year in television. Before you bid Olivia Pope, Cookie Lyon, and Dr….

Matt is Celia’s big brother and I had sex with him in the bathroom at the zoo. I never thought my life story was worth telling until I could say things like that.” Matt and Hannah are getting paranoid. Is Matt’s little sister, Celia, aware of their sinful weekend of passionate sex? Did she hear them in the shower? In the bathroom? In the car? Matt decides to make his last night in town one to remember, but Hannah doesn’t want to let him go. Will Matt choose to betray his sister or his new love? This 3,800 word story contains explicit sexual situations, including fingering, anal sex, and masturbation. EXCERPT I gingerly slid out the door, where Matt was waiting in the hall. “Really?” he asked, exasperated. “Going to the computer lab?” “What?” I said defensively. “I mean, I have a good reason to go there. There’s this essay.” “Hannah,” he said. “It is almost 10PM on a Saturday. Surely they’re not open.” I sucked my lips between my teeth. “Let’s just get going,” I said. “Also,” he added. “You should have waited longer before coming out.” “Matt, we’re fine,” I lied. “She has no idea. How could she ever expect a thing?” “Then tell me why she’s sleeping in the living room,” he challenged. “Because she heard noises,” I said. “But, Matt, she thinks they’re the toilet!” “Is that what you told her?” he asked as we bounded down the stairs. “Yes,” I said. “Also a half-truth. It has been weird lately. I just haven’t gotten it fixed.” “So, you really think she knows nothing?” Matt asked, pausing to open the door for me. “Maybe she thinks we like each other,” I said. “But there’s no way in hell she knows what we did.” “Or what we’re about to do,” he contributed. The alarm system of my car delivered a chorus of clicks and beeps. The lights blasted the brick wall of the building. “Get in,” I said slyly. “We’re going for a ride.” Matt sighed. We buckled our seat belts and set out into the night.

For Herb Metoyer, the period from 1963 to 1965 is still an open wound. In 1963, during his first tour as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, he lost several aircrafts and quite a few crew members, which he refers to as his first experience with death. Then, in November, he and the rest of the country learned of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s assassination. Finally, when he returned to the United States in early 1964, he was told that his brother, a fellow helicopter pilot, died when his aircraft crashed in the South China Sea.

What her brother believed were single moments of brother-sister selfies were actually video clips of him standing there looking awkward. Over and over and over again.

Brother Hugo needs to return a very important library book — another monastery’s copy of St. Augustine. But along the way, a hungry bear devours the precious book, and the Abbot tasks Hugo with replacing it. Letter by letter and line by line the hapless monk crafts a new book and sets off to return it. It turns out, though, that once a bear has a taste of letters, he’s rarely satisfied. With a hungry bear close on his heels, will Brother Hugo ever make it back with his fine parchment in one piece?Lavishly illustrated by S.D. Schindler, Brother Hugo and the Bear is loosely based on a note found in a twelfth-century manuscript — and largely on the creative imaginings of the author. This humorous tale is sure to delight readers who have acquired their own taste for books.

Gap’s official Twitter account responded to Howerton, calling the side-by-side photo recreation “Worthy of a Tony!” According to Broadway.com, Lauper and Porter spread their show’s message of tolerance as part of Gap’s “Make Love” campaign.

According to reports, Kaufman’s brother brought down the house at last week’s Andy Kaufman Awards show with a winding tale involving a letter, a favorite restaurant, and this conclusion: Kaufman is alive. And the prankster has a daughter, apparently, who also took the stage, and may or may not be a theater student.

Kaufman is known to have one daughter, Maria Colonna, an occupational therapist living in upstate New York, who occasionally breaks from her life to consult on stories about the mystery of her dad.

But Colonna appears not to have been involved in this latest stunt. The girl who joined Kaufman’s brother onstage also reportedly claimed to be 24 years old. If true, that places her birth date after Kaufman’s official death date. The funnyman is said to have succumbed to lung cancer at Cedars Sinai hospital, on May 16, 1984.

Of course, where Kaufman goes, smoke and mirrors follow. But this new theory sounds enough like the one we heard back in May that we’re scratching our heads a bit. Let us know if we’re the only ones.Arts – The Huffington Post
